I am very happy to hear that the Isuzu Forward/F-Series will once again be sold in the North American market.
http://www.isuzucv.com/en/fseries/index
However, this time around; the Forward/F-Series will be sold with the same 4HK1 diesel engine that had always powered the Elf/N-Series since Isuzu had put the 4HK1 Diesel Engine into production, and not the 6HK1 Diesel Engine that the Forward/F-Series had been sold in the North American market in the past.
The 4HK1 is the 6HK1 with 2 cylinders removed to create a 4-cylinder engine.
A Front Engine and a Rear Engine chassis-both of which would be based on the Isuzu Forward/F-Series would be the only chassis that would be available on both the Front Engine and a Rear Engine versions of the Blue Bird All American if General Motors and Isuzu had each purchased a 50% stake in Blue Bird.
See this earlier post for more information about Blue Bird All American should General Motors and Isuzu had each purchased a 50% stake in Blue Bird:

A GM Full-Size Pickup Truck and a K5 Blazer, both in the 1973-1991 bodystyle; located in Loretto, Tennessee.
Sadly, the K5 Blazer has been what I refer to as being “molested”; where they, along with 2-door Tahoes of the successive GMT400 generation, Broncos; and Ramchargers/TrailDusters have been badly altered from their stock form by the way of having those ridiculous lift kits, the engines having been modified, custom paint jobs; and custom alterations to the interior.

A GMT400 Suburban with the center-band two-tone paint job located in Hodgkins, Illinois.
These are the colors, and the paint job that we would get on our GMT400 diesel Suburban if we were to buy a diesel Suburban instead of a Centurion Bronco on an F-350 Dual Rear Wheel chassis in ‘Early Life And Continuous Livelihood’.
See these earlier posts for more information.

This race car that was developed by the Cadillac Motor Division of General Motors is not my cup of tea.
This is the type of race car that would be driven by British LeMans Driver Chris Buncombe who, along with several NASCAR, Indy Car; and Formula 1 drivers, are not my cup of tea.
Cadillac revealed the all-new 2017 Cadillac DPi-V.R race car today and announced that it will compete in the 2017 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship series, Prototype (P) class.

A Class C motorhome built on the chassis and cab of a GMT560 Medium-Duty truck located in Auburn Hills, Michigan.
GM did offer a motorhome provision package for the C4500 and C5500 chassis & cabs, and a few coachbuilders did build motorhomes on the C4500 and C5500 chassis & cabs.
This Class C motorhome built on the chassis and cab of a GMT560 Medium-Duty truck is parked adjacent to a GMT400 1/2 Ton Extended Cab 4-wheel-drive pickup truck.

Packer Pontiac, located in Detroit City Proper; and Royal Pontiac (now Jim Fresard Buick-GMC), were the two pioneering Pontiac dealers in the entire nation who had helped market Pontiac’s newly-developed performance image beginning in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s (before this time, Pontiac’s position in the automotive marketplace was to serve as a poor man’s Oldsmobile or Buick; but still located above Chevrolet in the hierarchy of GM’s brands) the Wide-Track of certain Pontiac models; fabricating and selling to individuals their own parts to upgrade the performance of their personal Pontiacs, and preparing stock cars and drag racing cars.
Packer Pontiac was located on Livernois near 7 Mile Road in Detroit city proper.
A few years ago, Jim Fresard had moved to a brand new location on Woodward Avenue in the Detroit suburb of Ferndale. But Royal/Jim Fresard Pontiac’s historic location was located on Main Street in Royal Oak, Michigan.

Two homes on large lots located directly across the street from each other, and another 1973-1987 GM Full-Size pickup truck that’s in terrible shape; all located in Laurel, Maryland.
One of these homes has a carport with a breezeway converted to being an inhabitable living space leading from the main house to the carport.
A tri-level home located not too far away from these other two homes:
The other 1973-1987 GM Full-Size pickup truck located in this town that’s in terrible shape:

This pickup truck must have been repainted a different color at some point in time because the dark turquoise color that this truck is seen in, was never a color that was offered by General Motors from the factory.
